More on the Real World

I’ve seen a lot of “A Course in Miracles” students (and some teachers) express their conflicting interpretations of the Real World. For me, I used to be the “metaphor” type, believing that the body/world were SEPARATE from me (my mind, not brain). However when I experienced my mega breakdown/breakthrough in Jan 2011, Jesus showed up and turned my mind inside out and upside down, revealing that his message is to be lived LITERALLY.

He revealed to me that what we think of as matter (body/world) is really objectified thought. They are ideas in our mind. All matter resides in our mind and as “now moment” projections, they respond purely to our BELIEFS. Mind is the only cause. There is no cause in the body or world regardless of “appearances” to the contrary.

Jesus says that a major step in the Atonement plan is to undo error at ALL levels. This includes the level of “form”, the body/world. This is why he healed the sick and raised the dead and asks us to do the same (AND MORE 😉 We learn the body/world is causeless and we literally reverse the thinking of the world by reversing effect and cause. Sickness, conflict, deprivation and death are ego expressions of ATTACK. Through miracles, we UNDO all forms of attack and DEMONSTRATE that we, along with everyone, are infinitely guiltless and therefore INVULNERABLE. As Jesus says:

“A major step in the Atonement plan is to undo error at all levels.” T-2.IV.2:1.

“How foolish and insane it is to think a miracle is bound by laws that it came solely to undo!” T-27.VI.6.

“Miracles enable you to heal the sick and raise the dead because you made sickness and death yourself, and can therefore abolish both. YOU are a miracle, capable of creating in the likeness of your Creator. Everything else is your own nightmare, and does not exist. Only the creations of light are real.” T-1.I.24.

“A broken body shows the mind has not been healed. A miracle of healing proves that separation is without effect.” T-27.II.5.

“It must be true the miracle can heal all forms of sickness, or it cannot heal.” T-30.VI.7:1

The mind seems to be split (ego and Spirit). Yet everything we perceive lay WITHIN the mind. As Jesus says, “Ideas leave not their source.” The body/world remain in the mind and cannot BE separate. The body/world appear differently according to WHICH part of the “mind” is seeing:

VIA THE EGO FILTER: the body/world (which are IDEAS only) seem to have power of their own with death being the central dream from which all else is ACCEPTED. God’s Cause (Love) and Effect (us) are reversed. The seeming illusion of the inevitability of death, being the opposite of God, is the ultimate ego plan to perpetuate time/suffering/ego. While death is deemed “natural and inevitable”, the fear of God (Love) is unknowingly maintained because there is the deeply buried unconscious and insane belief that death COMES FROM God.

VIA THE HEALED MIND: Here the REAL WORLD is experienced. Body and world remain as IDEAS within the mind, however Cause and Effect are aligned with God. As such we are a living demonstration (like Jesus) that there is NO CAUSE IN THE BODY/WORLD THAT CAN HAVE AN EFFECT IN THE BODY/WORLD. We finally embody the full demonstration of Jesus’ number one Miracle Principle: “There is no order of difficulty in miracles! This is literal. All suffering is undone, it is reversed. The unconscious fear of God (Love) is undone. And here we KNOW that God (our Holy Self) is literally Love and Life without opposite.

Finally, we have recognized and demonstrated that ALL Cause arises from the Christ within. The ego has no cause. Therefore, it has zero EFFECTS. The body/world becomes a beneficent EFFECT of the Love in our healed mind. The body/world nucleus as DEATH…is literally reversed. LIFE and not death is the Cause of our Being. Bodies are still required in order to WITNESS the complete undoing of DEATH; the undoing of fear and the reversal of EFFECT and CAUSE.

It’s my belief that the body is needed only so long as to completely embody/ witness/demonstrate that the body is UNREAL. It cannot die, it cannot decay. It simply ceases to be (because it never was, lol!).

The body is now known to be a holographic now moment projection. When we have overcome the body, we will simply DE-MATERIALIZE it…just as Jesus did. There will literally be NOTHING left to bury. Only then will we truly KNOW that the body is UNREAL.

Jesus speaks about the LION and the LAMB (symbol pictured): “I have been correctly referred to as “the lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world,” but those who represent the lamb as blood-stained do not understand the meaning of the symbol. Correctly understood, it is a very simple symbol that speaks of my innocence. The lion and the lamb lying down together symbolize that strength and innocence are not in conflict, but naturally live in peace.” … “Innocence is wisdom because it is unaware of evil, and evil does not exist. It is, however, perfectly aware of everything that is true. The resurrection demonstrated that nothing can destroy truth. Good can withstand any form of evil, as light abolishes forms of darkness. The Atonement is therefore the perfect lesson. It is the final demonstration that all the other lessons I taught are true.” T-3.I.5:1-3,7:4-9

Nouk, We are so on the same page. My thoughts exactly about “the real world” and about healing as Jesus did. Sometimes I feel like the Lone Ranger because for me healing (all healing) seems to be a major, major part of the ACIM teachings and no one seems to be on that page but me here in Dallas, TX.
Let me know if you need someone to “quarantine” with you guys. Santa Fe is my second favorite place in the US next to Red River, NM…
Praying for you and Daniel.
